Unique Market for the Horses. Happened to see some abandoned horses

Some
of the important features of this temple…
This is a unique temple in which a boulder is worshiped as Lord Shiva and Muruga as Moolavar Gurunatha Swamy. It is believed that Muruga taught/உபதேசம் Panchatcharam mantra to Shiva, hence called Gurunatha Swamy.
